Cliffford William Roy Lavallee Sr.

April 23, 1943 – May 4, 2018

Cliff was born in Prince Albert, SK on April 23, 1943 to Frank and Lena Lavallee.  Cliff spent his school years in Meadow Lake, SK. He then worked road construction throughout his young adult life.  While in Prince George, BC visiting his cousin, Cliff met his soulmate, a beautiful redhead named Peggy.  They were married in Edmonton a short time later, October 21, 1974.   Peggy had two young daughters, Terrie and Debbie, who Cliff loved and adopted as his own.  Shortly after they were married, Clifford Jr. and Amanda were born.  In 1979, Cliff moved his family from Alberta to Saskatchewan, where Cliff held numerous jobs as a heavy duty mechanic.  Once all the kids finished high school, Cliff returned to construction work, specifically in the field of Pipeline Construction.  Peggy retired from her work as an Early Childhood Educator and joined Cliff on the road with his crew as they travelled across Canada. When Cliff was 65 years old, he began his journey with Alzheimer’s Disease.  Alzheimer’s is a family diagnosis.  The effects of the disease extends beyond the individual to those that love them. In January 2012, Peggy moved to North Battleford to be closer to the kids and Cliff became a loved resident of the Battlefords District Care Centre.  This became “home” to Clifford for 6 years, where he received amazing care/visits from so many incredible people.  He remained at BDCC until his passing on May 4^th, 2018.  Cliff loved Jesus and was incredibly grateful that a kind Pastor name Henry was willing to share his faith and disciple his heart.  Cliff celebrates in Heaven today, free of disease and life’s burdens.

Clifford is lovingly remembered by his wife of 44 years, Peggy; His children, Terrie(Rob) Lindsay – Brendan, Cole; Deb(Aaron) McNabb – Shallen(Devin), Jesse; Cliff Jr.(Regan) Lavallee – Chloe, Mya; Amanda(Eric)Paulsen – Astra, Luna.

Cliff’s cremated remains will be scattered this summer at the Crooked Trees near Speers, SK. 

Clifford loved music by Conway Twitty and many other country artists from the 70’s and 80’s.

Conway Twitty once said, “A good country song takes a page out of somebody’s life and puts it to music.”  In his song, Three Times a Lady, he wrote “If I had my life to live over, I’d spend every moment with you.”  Cliff will be sadly missed and never forgotten.

Donations in memory of Cliff can be made to Battleford District Care , Unit 1, 1308 Winnipeg Street, Battleford, SK. S0M 0E0.
